This guy has so much control when on one wheel. While I'm not too much into stunting, I can definitely see how much skill it takes to do what he's doing  :thumb:

Best I've seen. Most videos on the net featuring stunting are punk kids without any responsibility. Glad you posted it.

I've seen some of his other shows before, but I don't remember ever seeing him go straight from a stoppie to a wheelie on a Monster. Thats f%$king amazing.

I agree, but then again, his camera might suck in the sound department

Christian Pfeifer is the world champion for the stuntion competition. There used to be a video around of him in Belgium where he won the World Championship of Stunting or something like that. Basically, it was f%$king amazing. He has a lot of control, and this video is like, NOTHING, compared to the one from Belgium .

He was also at Laguna Seca last year at the MotoGP races. I was at the Corkscrew and he came down it on one wheel (off-camber downhill right hander). While he was going down this turn on one wheel he SLID the back tire. That guy is insane. Sliding the rear tire while doing a wheelie downhill on a nasty turn... He's damn good.

That was at Mid-Ohio during the Vintage Motorcycle Days. Ducati was the featured mark. He put on several shows a day. To see it in person was really amazing, but the year before, BMW was the featured mark, and some French guy (I forget his name) was stunting on a F650, pretty cool, but then he jumped on a K1200LT, all 850 pounds of it, and started stunting on the beast.  That blew my mind.

Rossi and MotoGP guys maybe be good, but I've never seen someone know exactly what the bike is going to do like that.... it's like an extension of his body or something...  great post! :cheers:

Kinda makes you wonder if he can race too. If he could do that, and keep up with, or even beat Rossi....THAT would be unbelieveably amazing.

I saw his show at the MotoGP race as well, very cool! He did a few 'stunt laps' around the course, but he also did performances in the marketplace section by the track. He was awesome in person - so much control. My brother was standing next to me and Chris whipped the rear wheel about 8 inches from his face swinging the bike while still rolling on the front wheel. Awesome!

OH...MY...GOD! Simply THE BEST stunt video I've ever seen. I've never seen that level of control on a motorcycle!

Thank you for the heads up on such an awesome video.
